“…1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 GIPCs are involved in the trafficking of various transmembrane proteins and regulate a variety of cellular processes, such as proliferation, planar cell polarity, cytokinesis and migration. Pathologies associated with the GIPCs, such as hearing loss 11, 12 and cancer, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 are emerging topics in the medical sciences. Here, the functional proteomics, evolutionary genetics, human genetics and cancer biology of the GIPC family members will be reviewed, with a focus on recent advances and future directions.…”
